Quote from michaelscott:
Since there is a credible break off the neckline, then a breakout is about to occur with a target price of the (top of head minus the neckline)+ approx 8.1= about 9.39
If you take the length of the last downward wave (8.15-7.15=94) and then multiply by 1.618 you get 1.52 approximately. That would give a target price of approximately 9.52.
The top Bollinger Band is now at 8.24. The afterhours price has jumped over that level to about 8.3. The price will pull back to just under 8.24 by the morning. This will create another formation, a cup and handle. If we use the cup/handle thesis which is rough. Then the price target would be the right tip of the cup minus the bottom of the cup. I estimate about 1.5. We can roughly assume that the pullback will be about 1/3 to 1/2 the height of the cup which is .5 to 1 buck off of the high in afterhours. Then add 1.5 to the bottom of the handle and you get another target price. Lets say it gets to a high of 8.4 minus 0.5=7.9+1.5= 9.4 target price.
Looking at the chart, the price will encounter resistance at around 9. A/D line and CMO moneyflow show heavy distribution.
Here are the three price targets:
Head and shoulders thesis target price= 9.39
Golden number thesis=9.52
Cup/handle thesis 9.4
Conclusion:
There will be a pullback off of the afterhour highs in the morning due to the top Bollinger Band break. That pullback will be probably to around 7.9, maybe to 7.4-7.5. Traders will be shorting it at the open as it reached over the top Bollinger.
They will cover right before the middle band. So look to go long when the chart forms a v-bottom in the morning. Then ride it back up to 9 dollars and sell at that level.

The pattern since the start of the year resembles a descending triangle which is very bearish. Furthermore, this is your typical ABC correction. A-B is 11.7-7.5= 4.2, 4.2X1.618= 6.7956, 10.01-6.8=3.21
So if we go by the Elliott Wave formula of the ABC downtrend we get a price target of 3.21. C should be a 5 part correction and we will soon be in the downleg.
Then if we look at the gap in July, well, its right around 3 dollars.
The point and figure chart says that this will be a 3 dollar stock in time.
The A/D line suggest distribution.
My technician is telling me that he thinks it will go to 3.
All I can say is WOW Mr.Scott - You certainly seemed to have TA'd this thing to death. So, from your "reading the chart", we have the following price targets:
3.00
3.21
4.2
6.
7.9
9
9.39
9.4
9.52
Now you certainly seem like a good technician and I am in no way questioning your chart reading abilities, but forgive me, I'm just scratching my head here. My take on fundamental vs. TA is that fundamentals should determine the proper market price over the long term. TA is certainly valid for short term day trading if for no other reason than the fact that there are so many traders basing their trades on the charts. The problem with TA is exactly what you posted. many people looking at the same chart at different scales or time frames can read entirely different things. Add the fact that the Hedgies are manipulating this stock (as is evidenced by the naked short sales), and you can throw it all out the window. I think BRLC is a compelling fundamental growth story which is the reason my most recent purchase was a long term hold.
If anyone is interested in the naked short selling and the detriment it has to our markets, check out the following link. I will warn, it is a long presentation (over an hour).

BTW - today's close was $8.40 - I'm sure MS has it covered up there somewhere.
